Discussion: ABC Cancels 'Roseanne' After Barr Sends Racist Tweet About Obama Staffer

Holy shit! Not that I thought the few minutes I’ve seen of it were any good and doubted it would have made it, but wow.

Maybe? It’ll be interesting to see. Basically, if you pick it up, even if it is potentially “worth it” financially…picking up a pile of shit that could explode (again) at any moment may be too much of a potential liability to make it worth the risk.

Trump will tweet that he’s hiring Roseanne as his new communications director. That’s also how she’ll find out about the offer.

I wasn’t saying that the cancellation wasn’t justified – just noting the collateral damage.

Integrity above money. Wish the politicians in congress and senate would come to that realization. ABC stood for their values, and that is worth applauding.

Maybe she can hire Rudy to lobby for her job back. Hahahaha

While we wait for Mueller to drop more bombs, we’ll have to be satisfied with a few firecrackers in the meantime.

It was the kind of comment there really wasn’t a way back from, except, say, for going to volunteer in another country for a decade or two cleaning bedpans.

I was not aware that her ratings had fallen off that much…

You know that Disney/ABC was just looking for a way out of that contract.

Well, ever since their crypto Nazi founder passed on, the House of Mouse has become a relatively progressive institution – for a mega-media monopoly, that is…

Thank you for sending the email this morning

Maybe but I’m guess rating sucked and they were probably planning to phase it out already.

Sure. I guess my surprise was more the flat-out “Fuck you, you’re done” rather than a “Ms. Barr will be attending racism rehab for the next 28 days, at which point we’ll welcome her back on the air.” Which, let’s face it, is the usual course.

Let’s expand that to “co host” or “paid contributor” on any Fox program, and then start a timer on how long your prophecy takes to be fulfilled.

I’m guessing less than 6 hours.

Well, I guess that means increased postage rates for ABC.
